I imagine Brian to identify with Oliver’s sentiments on teen girl pop. I certainly agree with him regarding raisins in cookies; no one wants them there.

The Supreme Court is doling out decisions at the end of the term. You probably saw the headlines but internet TV took a hit but privacy rights got a boost. The SCOTUSBlog plain english reports are great (privacy rights). The New York Times summarized the year to date and what to expect  before the end. As I imagine us all to be big fans of TV on the computer I thought it would be of some interest but mainly I hope this inspires Brian to photoshop Neil’s face into one or all of the Supreme Court justices. Neil’s got the eerie grin of Antonin Scalia and the youthful eyes of Samuel Alito (aka American Mycroft Holmes)

In a discussion on Scottish accents this lovely bit came up.

While this year has involved a lot of great guest lectures at school, new celebrity-style crushes on international human rights lawyers, and a lot of time spent reading all I can to prep for the Friday Slate news quiz. I keep coming back to the strange video series by the Doogie Howser editor of The Atlantic’s Health section, Dr James Hamblin, “If Our Bodies Could Talk.”

Per usual I’m behind on movies. Now that it is summer and I’m avoiding writing my thesis I finally saw Filth. I loved it but it is strange. If you hadn’t seen it already or read the book check it out.  Also, recently saw A  Thousand Times Goodnight which was wonderful yet Jamie Lannister mysteriously regrew one hand. Next up is Calvary where Little Finger doesn’t try to hide his Dublin accent.
